6,000 years ago (Neolithic period), the first herders and farmers settled in this area, taking advantage of the plateau's natural defenses.

They blocked the spur with a dry-stone rampart, against which they built their homes and agricultural buildings. A violent fire put an end to this occupation around 4,000 years ago.

After several centuries of abandonment, the site was reoccupied around 2,800 years ago (late Bronze Age).

A new rampart was erected on the ruins of the previous buildings, reinforced by massive towers. This rampart remains one of the oldest architectural remains in Burgundy.

It takes about an hour to walk around the archaeological site. Information panels are located at specific locations of this ancient settlement, providing more detailed information.
